Tom Jasper?
Tom's family name is Jasper? In the various other titles, it is unknown that he has a family or family name. --PJ Pete

It's based off his original name from the very first short, Puss Gets the Boot. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.10.76.164 (talk) 00:21, 14 October 2008 (UTC)

Fair use rationale for Image:Tomandjerrymovie.jpg
Image:Tomandjerrymovie.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

Not done: please be more specific about what needs to be changed. Qwyrxian (talk) 00:55, 15 March 2011 (UTC)

Grammar/Wording
Some of the wording was a little vague and out of place, so I went in and fixed the wording to the best of my abilities.

Plot Downgraded
Since I just learned the true definition of edit warring, I decided to go to the talk page since that was recommended to discuss the plot being re-upgraded. I believe the scenes near the beginning where Tom nails Jerry inside his mousehole, Tom is chased by the bulldog, and where Tom rescues Jerry from the house being demolished should be re-added to the plot. There is also another mistake in the current revision: Robyn is not an orphan, her father later turns out to still be alive. The term "apparent orphan" should be used instead. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Sstanford2 (talk • contribs) 02:01, 5 May 2020 (UTC)
 * I'll give you that second point and have adjusted the wording accordingly, but there is no need to include all of that detail into the opening scene; the primary purpose of the scene is to make sure the pair are left behind by the moving van, and the point can be concisely made by simply stating that Tom's pursuit of Jerry was a distraction. Neither the bulldog nor the business with the mousehole figure at all into the bigger plot, especially since neither of them are brought up again afterward or change anything about the subsequent demolition of the house and T+J's homelessness, so both details can be excised without anybody missing anything.

Key frames
Hey, animator here, was reading the article and noticed the section about Tom & Jerry being animated using key frames, which I suspect was written by someone who doesn't really understand the process. Perhaps what they meant was "animated on paper"? Key frames just refers to the important poses a character takes, and they're used in everything from Snow White to Frozen 2, not just the eclectic list of late 80s-early 90s movies provided here. You'd be hard pressed to find a piece of animation in the last 100 years that was made WITHOUT key frames. The whole paragraph seems kind of superfluous to me, but I didn't want to just straight up delete it. SkullPirateMike (talk) 02:06, 24 November 2020 (UTC)

Musical genre
There are six songs in This movie so maybe, we should add musical to the genre. PickleAndPeanutFan (talk) 07:25, 27 December 2021 (UTC)
 * The lead sentence is only supposed to contain the primary genre or subgenre per WP:FILMLEAD. While some sources include the musical genre, it is never listed as the primary genre from what I have seen, and other sources do not include it at all, such as . – wallyfromdilbert (talk) 02:12, 28 December 2021 (UTC)


 * maybe, it's because they forgot to add it there PickleAndPeanutFan (talk) 03:08, 28 December 2021 (UTC)
